We are fully committed to the principles of equality and diversity and actively promotes these in employment, learning and development and services we provide to trainees.

We have a comprehensive Single Equality Scheme 2010/12, which provides in detail what actions we will be taking to meet our legal and moral responsibilities. In short we will:

• Eliminate unlawful discrimination in all our activities
• Promote equality of opportunity
• Build good relations between different groups

The Equality Act 2010 provides protection on the grounds of disability, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, age, gender and gender e-assignment, religion/belief, marriage and civil partnership and pregnancy and maternity. The Deanery has taken active steps to prevent anyone being discriminated against on these grounds and takes seriously any breaches of our policies covering these areas.
